In real life, I am a very sensitive person as l lived alone in Chennai for 15 years without my family. I always remember that phase of my life.
I was born in India, and - I was born in Chennai - South Indian. And my parents moved to the U.S. when I was about 8 or 9 years old.
I was born in Chennai.
I've lived in Chennai from childhood. But, honestly, I didn't know the Royapuram side at all.
Nor do I regret that I have lived, since I have so lived that I think I was not born in vain, and I quit life as if it were an inn, not a home.
I was born and brought up in Chennai, as the entire Telugu film industry was based there.
I've lived 16, 17 years of my life in Asia, and that's most of my life. I was born in Asia - I've lived cultures that are synonymous with Asian culture - but it's still not Asian enough for some people.
I love Chennai and its people. My mother always tells me, 'You should have been born a South Indian!'
My dad was in the army. We used to travel a lot, to different cities, because of his postings. I've lived in Chennai, Srinagar, Assam, etc.
I was born in a house where my family lived for 300 years. I was born in the home where my grandfather was born in.
For someone like me who's lived in the same place her whole life - I mean, I lived three blocks from where I was born, and I met my future husband in the eighth grade - there are always family stories and legends passed down.
I was 13 or 14 when I was brought from Paramakudi to Chennai by my uncle Kamal Haasan, and I lived under the care of my uncle and my grandparents.
While signing 'Sakhavu,' I wasn't aware of the depth of communism in Kerala. I was born and brought up in Chennai, and our political ideologies are very different.
Architecture is life, or at least it is life itself taking form and therefore it is the truest record of life as it was lived in the world yesterday, as it is lived today or ever will be lived.
My father came to Chennai at the age of 16 from a village in Coimbatore. He was an artist and was clear he wanted to do something, so he came to Chennai and joined an art course for eight years before he came into films.
I'm sure that in my last birth, I lived in Chennai because I feel a strong connection with the place and people - because of the music and love I receive here.
